Mood Lifters are:
Rocky Kuner - vocals;

Sounds great. I like the female voice on this song

[@magicsinglez]

This is the favorite song. .or the favorite Rush song of a LOT of people. It could me the number 1 most favorite Rush. Probably is. . I mean. .are these super Rush fans. .casual Rush fans. .just rock music fans who grew up in the 80’s. .everyone who hears this song. . ,? I don’t, but from talk g to other people, this is it, baby.

[@sethcashman1011]

Really love Rocky's voice. Always have. The entire band sounds amazing!

[@SigmaTau6]

Professional training - it shows. She is a gem.

[@kh485]

If you like RUSH, this is a great show!!! Just saw them in Simi Valley. The drummer’s tight, the bass is booming, tasty guitar licks and Rocky’s voice is just great!!!

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

Thanks K H for coming out! We had a blast in Simi Valley!

[@guaporeturns9472]

Jealous!!

[@GoodNight-wq8ce]

The 2:29 mark and the all difficult tremolo bar launch. Lifeson himself never really played it like the studio recording when playing live. Nice job some fancy guitar work there.

[@robertmills6772]

And this was live! Drums, guitar, bass, vocals, all exceptional!

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

Thanks Robert!

Very well done guys... And you made a great affair to take Rocky on board

[@GoodNight-wq8ce]

Really exciting to see this lineup of musicians. Rocky is just wow!

Awesome!

[@tecdive8045]

Goose bumps!!!!!

[@KentDorfman2024]

Rocky is a force. I feel bad that she had to leave YYNOT but I am impressed with the musicianship of The Moodlifters.

[@springy-2112]

Lovely performance! The bass noodling over the outro was particularly nice. ✌️❤️🤗Peace and love ✌️

Frickin AWESOME! and Rocky sounding better than ever! 🔴🟡🔵

@@Robdoeme69 We love you, so glad your back and on stage! Sorry with the way things ended in the other band. You deserve better than that.

[@kmtrammel]

Nicely done. I love this song. There's nothing else like these RUSH classics. Thank you for bringing them live.

[@jonbutcher5593]

Thank you for a great performance of one of my favorite songs from Rush.

[@andrelabonte2294]

Unbelievable. You’re amazing. You need to come to Canada. ☮️🇨🇦

[@lesjackson6575]

Rocky is a beast

[@gcapps100]

Love this.

[@Chefkey]

This performance gives me chills! You guys are awesome. Rocky, oh my, you really just get better and better. When I compare you to other vocalists out there doing Geddy you just come closer than any of them. You've got great diction and a vocal sense in your delivery that you know just where and what to enunciate. Thank you for sharing here and thank you for the great musicianship.

[@Robdoeme69]

❤thank you so much

[@xucaen]

Rocky! You're the best! ✌️💛

[@sydpix]

Kick ass!

[@ElieserLima]

Laura Pausini singing Rush is awesome! 😂

[@csoulellis]

Holy shit......

[@muggins57]

Well done. Nailed the sound on the instruments, good mix at the board, great vocals. Definitely did this song justice!

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

Thanks Styles!

[@alibabasing]

Awesome job y'all got to let subscribers know if you guys tour or play in other states

[@hermdevries1995]

Great musicians, every one of you! Rocky’s vocals are phenomenally amazing. Will you guys ever tour the Midwest (Chicago or Detroit)?

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

Thanks Herm! Current plans being tossed around involve Las Vegas, the East Coast, and perhaps Toronto. But we're not ruling anything out!

[@hermdevries1995]

Well, Toronto would involve a 7 hour drive and crossing an international border. But I think I’d do it!

[@RangerRon75]

Sound is very good!! Most of the various video angles were also well done. Just felt bad for your camera person down in the crowd having to struggle with all the other phone cams . Which is all too common a problem these days . Looking forward to HOPEFULLY many more videos to come!

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

Thanks! Yeah, it's become a battle down there these days. But it does kind of give the viewer the feel of being at the show, I guess, because that's what they would be seeing too, ha!

[@younggod2319]

you gotta keep that rhythm going on the guitar, @1:14 it's all about feeling that moving car / and echo needed @2:31 The outro sound great!

[@watchmakerfs]

Great performance! The mix could be a lot better though.

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

What's the issue? Sounds good on our end.

[@watchmakerfs]

The drums mostly. Lacks definition and compression, sounds muddy to me. But if you did that intentionally that's fine. It's subjective.

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

@@watchmakerfs Thanks for your input. We wanted a strong bottom-end presence on this, which I think we achieved. We could have done more high-passing but there are trade offs and we like some thumping here!

[@stevenedmonds831]

Surely geddy lee's daughter

[@AlunEpps]

good point that - worth testing the DNA but who cares - the whole band is ace!

[@sdfotodude]

Your video crew is almost better than you kids. Well done. See you Friday in O.B.

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

Thanks Richard! This video took a village and we are thankful for those (in our description) that helped us out. We still have a couple more we will release from this show, so be on the lookout and Happy Holidays!

@@MoodLiftersRushTribute x's 4. The best ever.

[@fxdelusions77]

Band is great, but I just can’t get into the vocals, it just seems like there is something missing. The singer has a phenomenal voice, just not for a Rush song (Most cannot reach the uniqueness of Geddy’s voice). Great cover over all 🙏

[@jeffmartin1968]

Good effort but the vocals don't hit the highs required

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

Well, it is note for note, in the original key and octave, so we're not sure what you mean.

[@Meatball2022]

Excellent cover! Such a beautiful song

[@antoniomarcosapolinario6124]

Excelente. Top. Show!!!!

[@haplopeart]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the pure cognitive dissonance of Rush being played on a Brian May "Red Special" clone :)

[@MoodLiftersRushTribute]

That's a Lifeson Les Paul, actually, but we were playing with Queen Nation at this show, so you are very close!

[@haplopeart]

@@MoodLiftersRushTribute Really...hunh...looks alot like a red special...ok, proven wrong, thats fair :)

[@noreply5435]

Great...great....great cover....😮😮😮
